Retirement Planning

Retirement shouldn’t be uncertain — it should be the reward for years of hard work. At First Step Life, we help you take control of your financial future with personalised retirement planning strategies that grow with you.

Whether you’re just starting out, in your peak earning years, or approaching retirement, we’ll help you make smart, tax-efficient decisions that support the life you want to live later. Who should start planning?

  • Young professionals wanting to build smart financial habits early
  • Mid-career earners looking to boost their retirement portfolio
  • Business owners and freelancers without employer pension schemes
  • Anyone nearing retirement age who wants to optimise their savings

Wills & Trusts

Planning for what happens after you’re gone is one of the most important — and often overlooked — steps in financial security. At First Step Life, we make the process of drafting a will or setting up a trust simple, affordable, and stress-free.

Whether you’re looking to protect your assets, avoid family disputes, or ensure your final wishes are carried out properly, our estate planning solutions are here to help you leave behind certainty, not confusion.

Without a valid will or trust in place, your loved ones could face:

  • Delays in inheritance distribution
  • Unnecessary legal fees or taxes
  • Family disputes and complications
  • Loss of control over how your estate is handled

Risk Protection

Life is unpredictable — but your financial security doesn’t have to be. First Step Life offers expertly structured life cover, disability benefits, and critical illness protection to shield you and your family from the financial consequences of unexpected events.

From continued income to settling debts, we ensure you have the right risk protection in place to protect what matters most — your loved ones, your lifestyle, and your legacy. A sudden illness, injury, or death can drastically impact your family’s finances. Without proper cover, your loved ones could face:

  • A significant drop in household income
  • Loss of assets or property due to unpaid debt
  • Struggles to cover education, living costs, or medical care
  • A complete lifestyle downgrade during an already emotional time

As independent advisors, we source the best products from a wide insurer panel — and tailor cover that matches your life.

We offer personalised financial advice because off-the-shelf solutions often miss the mark when it comes to your unique life goals.
We communicate clearly and avoid industry jargon so you can make informed decisions without feeling confused or overwhelmed.
We build long-term relationships instead of disappearing after setup, giving you ongoing support as your life and needs evolve.
We process claims and service requests quickly and reliably, so you’re not left waiting when you need help the most.
